plattner racing

I heard some one talking the other day about Plattners new trainer, that he had been trying to get a trainers licence for 2 years,and Mrs Plattners wrote to the jockey club and threatened them to stop racing in SA if they never gave him his licence, now I see he has got it,money talks bull shit walks,they say he is the course Brett and yogis lost there jobs. Well let's see what he can do.

Andre Nel has been appointed trainer to the Plattner Racing operation, filling a post left vacant since Sabine Plattner split with Yogas Govender over six months ago, writes Michael Clower.

Nel, 36, is a long-serving Plattner employee.

He worked in the yard at Yzerfontein for four years before spending the next four in the Summerveld satellite yard. He then switched to the breeding side and was manager of the La Plaisance Stud near George for more than five years.

He said: “I got my licence just over a fortnight ago and my first runners could possibly be at Durbanville on the 23rd but more probably on the 26th. We did nominate horses for this Saturday’s meeting but it doesn’t now look as if any of them will run.”

His initial entries included the useful I Am The Law and Ma Choix who won on her last appearance (on J & B Met day) as well as three newcomers. Ma Choix has been entered for the Settlers Trophy on the 26th.

Why does'nt such a wealthy woman just buy good horses and send them to decent trainers?I mean, it's a no brainer!
Why must she have a private trainer?The mind boggles...
Surely by now she realizes that her breeding method is shyte as shyte can be. Save all that time and money and buy from Top breeders, that way you can have chance of finding something special.IMVHO

She's had two of the best training for her recently in Brett and Yogas.. Both honest excellent trainers who won her some very big races.. Each to their own I suppose

Good luck to Andre Nel, he is gonna need it :whistle:

Was'nt Andre Nel a jockey in Cape Town? his name kinda ring a bell?
Anyway if he's been working for PLattner all these years surely this is the next step?

Wishing you all the best going forward
